All of those things, unfortunately, increase during a recession, providing a safer base case for self-storage than some other assets.

Quote from @Uzziel Cortez: Hello everyone,I am 31 years old and finally ready to dive into the deep end here.Looking over the strategies I think I want to start with Out Of State MTR / LTR strategy.My though is travel nurses or university students will be a good market / consumer base to tap into.I live in Orlando FL but looking at lower cost markets such as Texas or Indiana.Looking forward to hearing any tips yall might have for me.Thanks Welcome aboard.

Do you have a US based bank account?

You can find a company that doesn't have a high spend/volume requirement and flexible pricing options based on your needs.

Well diversified business base, a university, access to good transportation, a strong workforce and affordable housing.All of those add up to a good long-term investment formula.Let me know if I may be of assistance.Paul. 

It sounds like you have a solid plan in place, and I'll provide some insights and advice based on your questions:Maximizing Investment Longevity:It's a smart move that you're house hacking with an FHA 203K loan, remodeling for appreciation, and then refinancing to extract equity for other investments.

After ten years compounding at 5% that amount would be worth $1,348,602, which would really be $1,256,344 after accounting for LTCG @ 15% (1,348,602-733,500 * .15).Final amount for condo conversion: $1,256,344Pros: After money is reinvested, passive incomeCons: Taxed twice, once on sale, once when investments are sold, no real control over money once investedScenario 2: 10 year holdI pasted my numbers at the bottom of this post so it's easier to see, but my thought process was as follows:1) Calculate value based on reasonable appreciation trends, plus cash flow.

Based on what you gentlemen said I am thinking of selling after late August of 2024 so that I only have to pay capital gains taxes.

I am based in W Seattle and we focus on working with investors trying to grow and expand their portfolio in real estate.

If you have to, interview a couple until you find one that you "click" with. 2) Let that agent connect you with their network of investor-friendly lenders. 3) Meet with these lenders, have them talk over your finances with you and what loan products you would qualify for at the moment based on your income and assets. 4) Let the outcome of that conversation (#3) dictate your strategy moving forward and take your findings back to the realtor so you can craft a plan.
